"I think [Democrats] either know they have a losing issue or cannot make their argument based on the merits of their position," she said. "And so they would rather distract about other issues that are unrelated or just not show up at all."
"Dick Durbin showed up to a Senate hearing where women described losing championships, living in fear, and nearly losing their careers for speaking the truth.
"He didn’t stay long.
"That’s because Senate Democrats walked out on the women who told them what “transgender” men are doing to women’s sports.
"Democrats Didn't Just Skip the Hearing – They Sent a Message
"Durbin and Sen. Amy Klobuchar were the only two Democrats out of ten committee members who even showed up.
"Both walked out within the first hour.
"Durbin didn't question a single witness.
"When OutKick contacted all ten Democrat committee members about their absences, only Durbin's office responded – pointing to his opening statement.
"That statement was a masterclass in deflection.
"Durbin argued the hearing was ignoring children's cellphone use, artificial intelligence, and declining trust in government.
"Kim Jones – whose daughter competed against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas – had a word for that.
"'It's akin to saying, 'I cannot care about brain cancer until you solve stomach cancer,'" Jones said. "It's whataboutism in the most obvious form."
"Durbin also raised the specter of invasive physical inspections of female athletes – a talking point Jones demolished on the spot.
"'There is no need for any kind of invasive inspections," she said. "There's no need for any kind of traumatic experience." She pointed to cheek-swab testing for the SRY gene as a simple, non-invasive alternative." . . . More.
